Sumi is possibly the least hated character of this anime. She is like a dandere, shy, gentle and care about the main character's feelings, she is changing even a little bit.
The close-up of her eyes shows her feelings for Kazuya. When she holds her phone close to her confirms her feelings for Kazuya. Speaking of, her date with Kazuya is coming up soon to watch.
I've replaced my feelings of loneliness with the unbridled rage of man, so whenever I watch clips like these, I'm not sad that I'm lonely, I'm just angry that I almost felt lonely.
Don't be angry. Consider it an opportunity to find your peaceful center. When you're surrounded by people in a stressful situation, you can return to that place mentally. When I'm overwhelmed I go back to that place where I'm alone and drawing my bow, all that is before me is the target that I am trying to strike and the pressure of the string in my fingers. I feel the grip of the bow and that moment of focus and releasing the arrow and I am able to come to grips even when I am unable to get away physically. Save your anger for when it is necessary. Find your center.
I hope this guy gets a complete personality overhaul after getting dumped by all his current situationships and becomes someone who deserves Sumi-chan.
Love is not just a feeling, dont just love because you feel like too, you must also Love even you don't feel like too, because Love is not a feeling, Love is a commitment. Love is patient and kind. Love is not envy or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not force its own way. It is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, Love is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
They would make a wonderful couple. She trusts him, he is patient and well-behaved and trumpeter around her, and both want to grow. They bring out the best in each other. However, I feel Kazuya feels she is too good for him on a sun-conscious level. I want her to find a prince all her own. In two fan fictions she meets two very relatable and special guys.
